FHG KIT LIST

[Above] KL,PB,AB,SB,NB,MF,LF,TL,G,B,SB Some of the hiking group on the 10 mile January Chatsworth hike. 2006

So what do you need:

• Sturdy Hiking boots and thick warm socks
• Hiking trousers not jeans they get heavy when wet and rub.
• Plenty layers of warm clothing. Its not a fashion parade.
• Waterproof and windproof coat
• Waterproof leggings
• Warm hat
• Gloves
• 25ltr+ Bag Pack for equipment such as:

1. Torch & Spare batteries
2. Lunch
3. Warm drink
4. First aid kit
5. Water Bottle 1ltr

• Hiking pole (Optional however I find them a great help on long hill hikes)
• Map, Map case and a decent compass

When hiking it's always a help to avoid too much alchohol the night before, eat plenty pasta dishes especially before a long hike.

Lunch Ideas: Bananas, Oranges, Soreen Malt Loaf, Mars Bars, nuts. Sandwiches of your choice, Lucazade. Tea or coffee are fine in moderation.
